No question about the bank bailout. As far as the auto industry, we will probably regret it in the long run. Apparently, if this deal goes through, the "Federal Gubment" will appoint a "car czar" to oversee the big 3's business dealings. That's right, they want some idiot over-paid federal employee with zero automotive backround telling the auto industry how to run it's business. Are you freaking kidding me? The "Gubment" can't run it's own affairs....how in the HELL are they going to do that with the big 3? If you all want to drive around in solar-powered tin-cans costing twice as much as a loaded Escalade, fine, but count me out. The "Gubment" has put enough regs on the industry as it is, and I am sure Pelosi and Company can't wait to finally have TOTAL CONTROL over the industry.
We are all going to regret this in the future, trust me. You certainly won't be seeing any Camaros, Corvettes, Mustangs, or Challengers in the new "Gubment controlled" auto industry. God help us.
